"It has not been easy for me. I started off in Brooklyn. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars..." - Donald J. Trump

Ignoring the fact that it’s not even true… My favorite part of the fallout from that quote were all the Trump supporters, most of whom will never see $1mil in total earnings across their lives, scrambling to defend it as if it were a perfectly reasonable thing to say.

Like, β€œIt's just because he’s so rich that a million dollars really does seem like a small loan!”

Sure, okay Jim-Bob, and you’re dumb enough to believe a guy whose concept of money is that warped gives a damn about you? lol

I don't disagree but 1m is 25k a year for 40 years. So yes, most of his supporters WILL earn 1m in their lives.

I can just underline that
